I feel like Euron has a Poochie-levels of the show's producers wanting you to really like him, but I just can't. Not even if he laughs about Theon or puts a finger in me bum.

It's about a sword called "Ice" and the idiot retard who lost it when he was beheaded and left his family to be (mostly) slaughtered because he was a dumb moron who will never be Mr Cool Ice now.

Also there's another sword called "Fire"?

In the earlier seasons they thought they were capping Bran's powers pretty good by explaining that the only reason he can warg into Hodor is because he has massive brain damage but now, in the 7th season, that means he can warg into pretty much any character.

I :lol:'d so hard at Gilly reading about how some guy named Rhaegar had an annulment to his wife so he could legitimately marry some other woman and Sam is just like "I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THOSE 15,781 STEPS AGAIN FUUUCCCKKK" and ragequits the Citadel. I thought it was going to rope around into a "wait, what was that?!" moment but nope, he's just gone. Hope he figures it out later, or not, who cares, haha.

Everyone acting like there was a big reveal last night is an idiot because the most common theory for years has been John Snuuuu, secret Targ.
This was more of a reveal that he's a legitimate heir and not some love-child on the side, so when Dragonlady and JonSnu gently caress they will be an authentic royal family. Although the validity of anyone's rule is specious and really based on who has the might to conquer the kingdom and hold it, which is why no one should give a gently caress that Gendry is a secret Baratheon anymore.

Autistic Bran rules. When they were doing the screenshot of talking about Jon's lineage and and Bran was doing the travel through time montage, where Bran is standing there watching the events unfold. When the show did the final montage cut to Dany and Jon boning I was really hoping that Bran would be standing there watching lol
The way the show breaks this up is kinda wonky. When Bran is viewing current events he sees it through animals (ex: birds watching the white walkers), but for viewing events in the past we see him physically standing there (ex: Hodor, Rhaegar & Lyanna's marriage, Ned being given Jon). It's a strange difference because why bother spying through animals at all? How long after something happens does it become "the past"?

Does he have to wait a day to watch Dany & Jon bang on Hulu?

As opposed to showing him standing on a mountain looking over the horde marching instead? I think the writers don't really care about Bran's powers so they get confused between his seeming omniscience, which is for observing, and warging into animals, which is for taking action.

I really like Anthony Hopkins. His character was great for the first season and his departure was excellent both to conclude the season and to setup the change in tone for the second. Having the actor come back diminishes that effect, even if it's just for flashbacks or whatever (haven't caught up yet). To use a GoT comparison, it'd be like watching Sean Bean walking around in the second season when the first season ended on his betrayal and brutal execution, stressing to the audience that the good guys don't have plot armor and there are devastating consequences for failure.

Unlike a lot of voices in this thread I wasn't bored by Westworld and really like Jonathan Nolan, too.

Seemed like some things happened this episode:
-Jaime is accepted at Winterfell despite Daeneyrs's objections because Brienne and others vouch for him
-In preparations for the siege, they agree to use Bran as bait for the Night King
-Theon returns to Winterfell and pledges to fight for them
-Brienne is knighted
-Arya and Gendry gently caress
-Jon tells Daenerys his ancestry

Yes, I reasonably believe these events occurred.

So what were the spoilers from a year or so again? Something like the final boss battle is Jon Snow vs. Euron Greyjoy, and then everyone gets blown up and Sansa ends up being the Queen? How on track are we with that as far as the season is progressing?
Oh man those were hilarious, now I wanna find them. It's entirely fiction at this point

Edit - IIRC, Bran would already be dead at this point and become the next Night King, Daenerys needed to have a baby by now and have her corpse dragged through King's Landing next episode

Chernobyl is good but they skipped the part where the operators manually took out all the control rods after accidentally having inserted them all the way inducing a choked reaction which was not providing enough to power for the actual test they were doing which involved shutting off the turbines which power the water pumps but the turbines require a minimum power level at shutoff to provide the residual energy to power the pumps for one minute to power up diesel generators at which point the operators inexplicably hit the emergency shut down button (maybe realizing they had induced a extremely unsafe condition as the power level started spiking because of steam voids from operating the water pumps at a low power state) which due to a unknown design flaw combined with the choked reactor condition spiked the power for a few seconds ruptured the fuel casings and permanently jammed the control rods into almost full power position until the steam pressure exploded. The show is mainly about the liquidators and soviet conference rooms I guess
I was hoping the first part of the show would be the disaster response and they wouldn't be able to investigate the ridiculous sequence of events that caused it until the end.

But it's cool, in their clinking together of random characters they had Tyrion ask Bran to tell him his life story, and then later gives a speech about stories being powerful so they clearly put a lot of thought into it.

Most of the finale looks like the actors/characters genuinely don't want to be there and are dragging rear end.
"Uh, can you remove your water bottle from the shot?"
"My what?"
"The water bottle in your hands."
"Oh, 'water', sssure. <places it by his foot>"
"...it's still in the shot."
